Breaking Bad Movie: 10 Things That Must Happen
8. Will Badger And Skinny Pete Be Returning?
Badger and Skinny Pete were Jesse’s two hapless, low-level drug dealer friends who probably did more harm than good to the character in the long run. Though they may have been introduced largely for comic relief, their fates following the end of the series remain largely unknown, and their actions may have greater consequences than fans might initially perceive.
As previously established, Jesse isn’t in the free and clear quite yet, and, though he’ll doubtlessly make plans to leave New Mexico as soon as possible, he can’t quite do that without a little help from his ex-confidants. That said, they haven’t entirely let go of their shady pasts, and they could end up roping Jesse back into Albuquerque's meth-addled underworld.
When last we saw Badger and Skinny Pete, they helped Walter to coerce Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz into gifting his family a ton of dirty money. Though they only acted as faux-hitmen, it’s hard to say how they may impact Jesse should he come to them for help. It may seem unimportant, but we need to know what became of these two for the sake of Aaron Paul’s character.
